A KRAFT irrigation system is recommended if the footing materials

Dust is unpleasant for both rider and horse and can lead to health problems. Footing materials should be consistently moist in order to ensure an ideal consistency for training horses.
All irrigation systems are especially designed for KRAFT Horse Walkers.

They were developed especially for KRAFT Horse Walkers and KRAFT covered
lunging pens.
